Feels like you might be undercharging for the level of quality, actually! Does your art take very long? I'd try not to charge less than minimum wage, if you know how many hours each step takes. But if you're comfortable with the prices, by all means stick to your guns.
i do take a bit actually, depending on the piece!! your like...the third or fourth artist saying i undercharge, i seriously need to consider upping them since so many people say this ;u; <3 cause at times i do take a bit especially on more complex things im trying to get right, so im defintely well below min wage on my pieces >3<
The important thing to realise is that if your skills are in demand, it doesn't support you if you don't earn enough for the time you put in. There's bound to be one or two people calling you out on raising your prices, because I don't think some people appreciate just how much time and energy making something actually takes. Your time is valuable!
Also, undercharging kind of harms the market for other artists, since everyone feels they need to slash their prices to draw the attention necessary to get work. I think the most important thing to do is just the make sure the prices you charge are comfortable for you. Make it so you don't regret putting your time in to it, when you could have earned more money for your time in a retail job or something. :D What I charge right now is kind of low, but I guess they could be seen as introductory prices.
I'm reviewing my pricing at the moment, now I have a better grasp on how long something will take from start to finish.

this is a good point...part of the issue is im not using the tablet often lik ei should, so my process is slow as molasses, bad habits form learning with mouse. though i never though of my time as valuable, i still have this mentality, which is something i didnt think of before, where im just kinda unsure of where i want to go with art so im jsut like ill taek a com here in there...i should be taking it more seriously, and be more confident in me and my work.
im going to review my prices as well, i think a small bump couldnt hurt at all ouo
